Assuming the problem is , we know that we are going to have to do the chain rule. I find it easiest to use simple substitution to do this. You'll see what I mean in a second.
Let's let u = t^2 + 2ln(t) so du = 2t + 2/t dt [but dt is just 1 since derivative of t = 1]
Let's let v = sqrt(u) so dv = 1/2sqrt(u) * du
Going from dv we have

Substitute du = 2t + 2/t

Substituting u in terms of t, we get

Getting rid of 2.
<--- perfect acceptable
Getting the Wolfram-Alpha answer:
Get a common denominator in the numerator.

Drop the t into the denominator

So, to recap, any time you have functions within functions, we just assign them variables.
Like sin(cos(x)))
We let u = cos(x) so du = -sin(x)
Now we let v = sin(u) so dv = cos(u) du
We go from dv and get cos(u) * (-sin(x))
Substitute u back in and get cos(cos(x)) * -sin(x).
Clean it up a bit and get -cos(cos(x))*sin(x).
Hope this makes sense and makes the chain rule a little easier! Feel free to email me if it does not.
